Solutions

In a haul cycle, timing is everything. IntelliMine products streamline every step of the mining process, allowing your mine to utilize time and resources to the fullest. Optimize operations, and maximize productivity.

IntelliMine solutions allow your mine to leverage operational data to achieve maintenance goals. With the tools to pinpoint the most important maintenance projects, and the power to address big issues before they occur, your workforce can reduce downtime and increase revenue.

A safe mine is ultimately a culture in which people make the right decisions based on the right information. Modular follows a multi-layered safety approach that relies on integrated solutions to empower mine personnel.

Mines are producing more material and more data than ever before, and both must be processed efficiently to be profitable. The IntelliMine suite provides the analysis and reporting tools you need to turn data into information, and information into action.

Constant communication is vital for safety and productivity. Modular’s unrivaled MasterLink® Wireless Solution provides the reliable, continuous transmission required to sustain vital connections between your mine’s decision makers, the equipment they monitor, and the operators in the drivers’ seats.

With large investments in both equipment and labor, it is crucial to maintain a high level of supervision and transparency throughout your mine. The IntelliMine suite enables dispatchers, managers, and other decision-makers to stay on top of operations, from the face to the crusher.

Modular, in collaboration with Komatsu, offers a proven commercially available autonomous truck and fleet solution. The Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) is at the forefront of mining technology as one of the most cost effective solutions for fleet management; delivering unrivalled safety and fleet optimization in complex mining operations without the requirement of truck operators.

The DISPATCH® system is the industry’s most trusted fleet management solution, allowing you to implement specific production strategies with an extensive set of mining tools.

The DISPATCH® Underground system delivers unparalleled mine management from the production face to the central office, and all points in between, to provide the most effective end-to-end solution for greater efficiency, productivity, and safety of underground operations.

The MineCare® solution improves every aspect of the maintenance management process, providing the information and tools you need to monitor the health of your entire fleet in real time. Prevent catastrophic equipment failures by turning data into information, and information into action.

For more than 15 years, mines around the world have used ProVision® machine guidance solutions to increase their total tons moved, improve the accuracy of material movement, and decrease costs associated with working outside of the mine plan.

Modular offers over 175 OEM interfaces, giving you access to important equipment health data. With ModularReady® interfaces, your mine’s operators, maintenance personnel, and managers can monitor the health of components such as engines, tires, hydraulics, brakes, and electrical systems.

With more than 35 years of experience delivering mine-tough mobile hardware, Modular has developed a reputation for systems that function reliably in the harshest of environmental conditions. The PTX-C platform builds on this success to offer marked increases in performance, fast start-up time, and the ability to accommodate the increasingly complex and growing number of applications specific to the mining industry.
